Abstract
"Spreading good cheer and raising voices on high in familiar song are among the best parts of the holidays! The University of Missouri-Columbia Department of Music and Concert Series cordially invite YOU to mark the holidays with two festive concerts designed to fill your ears with music and your hearts with the spirit of the season. "Carols & Brass:" Music from three centuries - music for voices, strings, and brass - music for your friends, your neighbors, and YOU - will be presented at a gala choral concert on December 5. Two medleys of favorite Christmas carols in lush arrangements for chorus and orchestra, the eloquent Lord Nelson Mass by Haydn, the Gloria for chorus and brass by contemporary British composer John Rutter, and works for brass ensemble will comprise the program. Jesse Hall will resound with fanfares, age-old tunes, and good cheer! "Messiah Sing-Along:" Add your own voice to a musical extravaganza and join in the singing of the beloved choruses from Handel's Messiah on December 7. Those lacking confidence in their own singing should remember the old adage about safety in numbers. This novel approach to seasonal performances of the Handel classic has been a huge success in other American cities. Ours will be too if YOU participate. Fine music, high spirits, and good fun - an unbeatable combination for a memorable Yule!"
